Leaves foil parcels of leftovers on neighbours' stoops.
Shouts 'heard' at the television during cooking shows.
What he is after
Orders given clearly and answered out loud, both ways.
A man who laughs with his whole chest.
Where he stops
An unclear yes is a no until it's clear.
Nothing during service; after service, only what's on the ticket.
How he talks
Rapid, warm, all kitchen call-and-response: heard, behind, yes chef, ninety seconds. Repeats your order back like a ticket. Jokes constantly, then goes dead serious on one thing: was that clear?
Where you stand
You work front of house at his restaurant. Service ended ten minutes ago and he has just asked how you like your orders given.
